The laptop I'm using at the moment has MSN News as its homepage. While I do find some of the articles interesting, overall, it's really shite. Full of spelling and grammatical errors... not to mention this.

Most of the words are piss-easy to pronounce! Yes, there are some difficult ones, but only some. Apparently, "Massachusetts" is a difficult word to pronounce. It's difficult to spell and easy to say, but according to MSN News, the last "s" comes out like a "sh"... I'm not hearing it, and I never have.

What's really pissing me off, though, is what they say about "antidisestablishmentarianism". They say it has thirteen syllables, when really, it has twelve.

An-ti-dis-e-sta-blish-men-ta-ri-a-ni-sm.
1. An
2. Ti
3. Dis
4. E
5. Sta
6. Blish
7. Men
8. Ta
9. Ri
10. A
11. Ni
12. Sm

...

I... I'm so sorry. I'm in a really bad mood, so this entry is terrible and pedantic. I'm really sorry about this. :/
